Road bike rental

Rented a road bike for a long weekend. Service by the staff was professional and kind, with quick e-mail response and helpful phone service beforehand. The bikes are in very good condition, and next to the helmet enought stuff is included to help you with small problems on a road like a flat tire. I would recommend you bring your own pedals and cycling shoes, as the bike is equipped with flat pedals - and you will like to be clicked in on the hilly roads. The staff were happy to put my pedals on as part of the service. They have maps to get you started on route selection, although I would recommend loading your route into an app like strava or bikegpx.

In short: good value, great service and a fantastic environment to ride a bike!More

I rented kayaks with a friend during the summertime and paddled around for a few hours. Fun activity for a couple of hours on a nice summer day. Make sure you ask the employees which way to paddle since you might have a hard time coming back if you start by going downstream.

The two young guys working there were really nice and helpful.

Just an unrelated side note, some of the residents on the shoreline need to ease up and find something better to do than people watch all day. If you are so worried about people stopping at your floating dock put a private property sign on it.

Thanks for your great review Anne. For those asking, upstream is to the left or west from the store. The Muskoka River that runs through downtown Huntsville doesn't usually have much of a current but after a good rain or in the spring it can move along a little quicker, so we would almost always suggest heading upstream as a first paddle from our dock. ~ Randy M

My wife and I were on holiday in the Algonquin area of Ontario Canada during June 2017. I had a major issue with an item of clothing that I had brought with me from the UK. I hoped the shop could resolve the problem with an 'off the shelf' solution, however this was not possible and I was about to leave the shop disappointed. However, Lynn Mitson, the person in charge of the shop that day said, "I think I can fix that for you". She guided me down to the workshop and after half an hour the problem was fixed, and no charge. We were only too pleased to buy some items from the shop in thanks. Lynn exuded a typical display of Canadian hospitality for which I was very grateful. Shop at Algonquin Outfitters and you will be guaranteed excellent service.

Tony thanks for dropping in to our humble shop on your visit to the Algonquin area. I'm very happy that Lynn was able to fix your problem while we were here and you were able to continue to enjoy your visit to Canada.

If you're ever back in the area again we'd love to see you and your wife's smiling faces once more. You never know maybe you'll come for a backcountry canoe trip with us next time and experience some of the beautiful wilderness Algonquin Park offers.

Hope you have a safe trip back to the UK, glad we could help fix your little problem.

stopby the place to get some information and rentals. They were super busy with the rentals of the paddleboats, canoes and kayaks.

The rental staff (who was not at the counter) was willing to answer my questions and information about the local trails and local attraction. The staff was willing to admit that he was not the best person to talk about the biking around the area but informed me that the current person on the floor was a bike enthusiast and the best person. (I admire sales staff or customer service people who are willing to admit their weakness but try to help you out and give you names and directions who can help.)

Will definitely return for rental of their mountain bikes since their staff is so willing and helpful and knowledgeable.

Thanks for the review Ame8888. Many of our staff enjoy a lot of the activities we do but some of them know more than others, we always try to direct you to the best person to answer your question. If you really want to get to know the local mountain biking trails, we host a Tuesday evening bike group where we actually take you out and show you many of the trails we can't put on a map. We also have a Thursday evening paddleboarding club that you're welcome to attend.

Hope to see you back again soon.

Cheers ~ Randy M
